[edit] Peace symbol bliss

If your browser does not display the ☮ peace symbols in this article, please read my explanations. All Mac OS X browsers work natively. On Windows XP, Firefox works but may require installing East-Asian fonts. IE6 fails even with proper fonts. Your Linux mileage may vary. -- JFG 04:14, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

-Shouldn't it be said somewhere in the intro what symbol it is instead of the reader having to search the images which show it to find it only down there? It would make it easier... 201.31.229.15 01:27, 21 June 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Oh come on

Wasn't the peace symbol just the style of his writing? Do you really think Prince actually meant the album to be called Sign (Peace sign) the Times? M.C. Brown Shoes 10:44, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

  • Keep in mind, Prince later went on to call himself by the non-linguistic symbol Image:Princesymbol.png for seven years. At least we can pronounce this album as "Sign of the times" even if it isn't spelled that way. --Metropolitan90 05:31, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Not only that, but even the Japanese release, which translates all titles into katakana, has the peace symbol instead of the word "Of". Check it: [1] --Matharvest 03:44, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Please rename (not about the peace symbol)

Could we please move and rename these articles so that the curly quotes are replaced with straights? On my browser, curly quotes always have a big spacing problems. So what you see as Sign “O” the Times, I see as Sign “O” the Times. It's really quite annoying. Plus, this (and the song) are the only articles I know that have curlies in the title space. I would argue that the album cover looks like it uses straight quotes anyways.--SeizureDog 12:02, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
